What’s the Difference Between REI and REI Outlet?
Most of us are aware REI is home base for all things recreational equipment. From hiking to camping, to climbing and fishing, you can find almost any piece of gear you need from all the top brands. The REI Outlet is much like a sale section for the outfitter, holding all of its past-season gear and its famous flash sales. What makes the REI Outlet special though is its wide array of product offerings that reflect all types of seasons—yes, even in summer you can find deals on warm weather gear in the REI Outlet.
This is all to say REI is constantly moving massive piles of product to the REI Outlet, cutting deals on major brands and creating savings up to 60% off in order to compensate for its rapid product turnover.
How to Use an REI Co-Op Membership to Save More
Sometimes REI offers limited-time sale events. These special sales are usually made available to REI Co-op members, which is an annual membership program that gives you access to perks like major sale events, a 10% giveback on eligible purchases year-over-year, and a discount on gear rentals and member events. You do not have to have an REI Co-op membership to shop the REI Outlet, but if you are someone who is spending a lot of time and money on outdoor hobbies then we recommend looking into the one-time $30 membership REI is currently offering.
